Celebrating the Green Parks of London

London may have a reputation as a massive metropolis, but it is also populated with some of the most beautiful city parks in the country.

The largest of the royal parks in the capital city, Hyde Park is situated close to Kensington Gardens, separated by the Serpentine Lake. Situated close to the main shopping districts of London, it makes for a welcome relief from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
